No relation. The one y'all are thinking of spelled his name Ottis instead of Otis. Plus the article says they are not related.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that D'Andre Swift (shoulder) could miss multiple weeks.​

Swift is dealing with an injury to his AC joint, and the Lions will reportedly exercise caution with their young star running back. Given that the highlight of the Lions season was a tie with the Mason Rudolph-led Steelers, they have zero incentive to rush Swift back from injury. As frustrating as it is for fantasy managers on the playoff bubble, the Lions would be smart to give Swift all the time he needs to get healthy. Swift looks highly doubtful against the Vikings and his status for Week 14 against the Broncos is very much up in the air. It's possible that Swift doesn't return until Week 15 against the Cardinals or Week 16 against the Falcons.

Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, Bucs WR Antonio Brown and DB Mike Edwards have been suspended three games without pay for violating NFL-NFLPA COVID-19 protocols.​

Per Tampa Bay Times' Greg Auman, both Brown and Edwards have accepted their suspensions and will not appeal. They'll both be out through Week 15's game against the Saints. This is great news for Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and Rob Gronkowski down the stretch and at the beginning of the fantasy playoffs. It's a devastating blow for managers who have held Brown throughout his ankle injury. Brown will have three weeks to lament his decision to not properly pay the personal chef who tipped off everyone to this story.

Hurts ruled out, I'm leaning Heinicke vs LV over Wentz vs HOU, but part of that is due to Wentz and Hurts both having a week 14 bye

@SteelersPride
Fyi

I’ve never posted on this forum but was wondering if you guys could give me feedback on this decision.

Need 3 of these 5:
Mixon v 49ers
Montgomery v Packers
Najee v Vikings
Mattison v Steelers
Patterson v Panthers

.5 pt PPR league, 6 pts per TD, .1 for rushing receiving yard.

looking at the defenses think I go Najee, Patterson and Mixon

Patterson presents a follow up question. He is classified in my league as WR/RB so I can play him at WR, RB, or Flex. My WRs are Davante Adams and Deebo. Deebo is questionable. My other WRs on my bench are DJ Moore and Malcolm Brown (Calvin Ridley is sitting on my IR slot in case he comes back for week 16 and 17 playoffs). Would you consider Patterson over Deebo at WR2 opening up a RB spot for Montgomery or Mattison?

If Deebo can't play or is a game time decision then yes use Patterson as a WR. If Deebo gets cleared to play then I keep him in and use Patterson as a RB.

Mattison is a must start, imo. Pains me to say it, as I didn't think he looked impressive at all in his relief duties for Cook prior to this year, only looked good in preseason (as did Toby Gerhart and Mike Boone for the Vikes, preseason RB factory!).

List of teams the Steelers rush D has been better than over the last +month:
New York Jets

You gotta start Mattison if Cook is out again. If Cook plays, Najee easily takes his spot for me, same game, so easy swap.

Patterson and Mixon would be may other plays...PIT just isn't scoring enough lately for me to stick with Najee with better options/matchups on the table.

Patterson - keeps getting it done, doubt him at your own peril. seems like a lock for 4-5rec on top of his rushing stats, lines up wide a bunch as well as in backfield.

Mixon - SF another team like PIT, that wasn't bad against the run earlier in the season, but they've been getting gashed lately. Mixon should have the same volume with a better opponent than Harris for me to trust this week.

*Cook just listed as questionable when they ruled Thielen out. so I guess there's a chance Cook plays, but with it being TNF game, I doubt it still
